Join the series for its last event this spring

The Dorr E. Felt Mansion, built from 1925 to 1928, adjacent to Saugatuck Dunes State Park, is best known today as a premier wedding venue, but the building embodies many past lives. Attendees will learn about Chicagoan Dorr Felt’s rags-to-riches story with his invention of the Comptometer, a mechanical adding machine that made his fortune. The estate’s later history will come to life through behind-the-scenes tours of the mansion: its time as a Catholic seminary, a prison, and a Michigan State Police post, and its rise from ruin after decades of neglect.
